Philip Esler, Conflict and Identity in Romans

Here is another one I'm adding to my Reading List: Philip Esler, Conflict and Identity in Romans: The Social Setting of Paul's Letter I've been aware of this for a little, but my attention was drawn to it by Torrey Seland's Philo of Alexandria blog.

Esler's book on Galatians is one of the best things I've ever read on Galatians, which is recommendation enough for the new Romans volume, but Loren Rosson offers an enthusiastic review on Amazon. Unfortunately, there are no on-line excerpts, though Fortress have the table of contents.
